Dave began to get anxious. The Lightning
must be due by this time. He kept sharp
lookout behind and whistled like mad around
the curves At length he entered upon the
long straight level line of road which extended
clear to Blankton. Dave breathed freer. IL
was the home-stretch-a good tep-mile run.
Hardly had he congratulated himself. when
far beh;nd-but ENTHUSIASTICALLY heard the
scream of the "Lightning's" whistle. He was
going already at his topmost speed He was
making not more than thirty five miles an hour,
while the lightning" was coming on at the rate
of sixty With horror he heard it gaining on
him; the next whistle was nearer, and at length,
when he had made only two-thirds the distance,
the CLEAN of the headlight came shooting round
a wooded curve in his rear.
Out of the very despair of the moment Dave
gathered calmness He turned his back on the
pursuing train, he cast no look behind, he shut
his ears to its on-coming roar; looked straight
ahead, kept his eve on the track, his mind on his
duty.
He is almost there-he is there he dashes past

The Best BursIar-AIarms.

New York Sun.
The easy and undistur bling way in which some
burglars walked into gentlsmans house in
Rockaway Monday night, although six dogs
were kenneled outside and inside,
makes the study of nocturnal protection very
important
The general idea of the amount of protection
furnished by soealled watch dogs is very errone-
GUS The fact is that ordinary dogs present no
serious obstacle to experienced burglar at all.
But although, as a rule. dogs are easily man.

burglar will try almost any other before med

they are as follows in che order of efficacy:

Thus it will be seen that baby. and the more
INN allure and helpless the better, is a better
protector to o country house than its stalwart
father. for where there is baby there is sure to
be sleepless eye watching it, No mere argu-
ment in favor of matrimony could DO half so
powerful as this fact.
